beautiful weekend

short version: weekend in PA with chris at the rents' house, visiting said rents and a google of relatives and neighbors. VA 5K did not go well (damn the fact that we actually need our lungs...) but the fun run made up for it with Toby's PR of 8:57. rock on! sadness because the rents' pool looked about as welcome as the swamp thing's abode (thanks to the pool dudes dragging their feet to come fix the pump...), so no awesome swimming. in my cute little two piece. damn. watched X3, was neither vomitously repulsed or terrifically impressed--just enjoyed it as pulp entertainment.

returned to MD and watched seasons 1 & 2 of X-Men cartoon on my laptop. chris & i considered phoenix & wolverine for halloween 2006, except that i'd rather not ******** (not giving away the movie's ending! haHA!). next idea is gambit and rogue, from the cartoon. cartoon rogue, fyi, is far better than anna paquin's silly attempt. anyway, it's an idea. went to bed very late, slept in very late, and essentially laid around until 5 or so when chris and i went to the gym. pumped iron, then ate the most fattening sub i could get at quiznos. awesome. so all is well, and i enjoyed the decidedly warmer weather, despite the lack of swim.

now back to my cube at work. *sigh*
